Her Brother's Keeper (1995)

Salli Richardson-Whitfield: Elisa Maza

Quotes 

• Goliath : Tell him the truth.

  Elisa Maza : The truth! The *whole* truth? Including the part about gargoyles living in New York? That's not my secret to tell!

  Broadway : You shouldn't have to. He should trust you.

  Brooklyn : Trust doesn't mean much without honesty.

• Elisa Maza : You have to quit! He's *using* you!

  Derek Maza : It's my life! Butt out!

  Goliath : QUIET! Both of you! You don't know how lucky you are to have siblings to fight with! All of my rookery brothers are dead! And there is nothing - NOTHING more important than family.

• Elisa Maza : Oh, Derek. I've been wrong about a lot this week. You don't have to be a cop, and you do have to lead your own life.

  [pulls out tape recorder and hands it to Derek] 

  Elisa Maza : But l wasn't wrong about Xanatos, and l wouldn't be a good sister if l didn't give you this. Listen to it or not. It's your decision. It's your life.

• Elisa Maza : Fox, I'm here to find out...

  Fox : l know why you're here. David told me you'd come. He created the Pack, you know. Got us together - me, Wolf, Hyena, Jackal, Dingo - put us on the air and made us stars.

  Elisa Maza : Then, why are Jackal and Hyena trying to kill him?

  Fox : They don't know he's the boss. Only l do. David told me to have them hit the diamond exchange, and then make himself the next target. He set up his own assassination attempt.

  Elisa Maza : But why?

  Fox : He wants your brother. And what David Xanatos wants, he gets.

  Elisa Maza : So why are you telling me all of this?

  [chuckles] 

  Elisa Maza : Because he left you to rot in jail?

  Fox : You haven't got a clue. You're so far behind him, it's pathetic. He told me to tell you. He doesn't have to hide his plans from you. There's not a thing you can do to stop him. He's the most brilliant man on the face of the Earth.
